Does anyone know of a Max/MSP 4.6 (intel) compatible standard midi file sequence player object that allows for beat-by-beat tempo variation on playback? Eric Singer's SeqPlayer did this prior to 4.6 but doesn't run in 4.6. Are there plans to update seq with this feature? I'm seeing if it is possible to keep some older pieces still playable that use this.

Trust me... I did the port. I think Eric just needs a chance to 

upload it somewhere. Have you tried writing to him?

Thanks for the response Peter. Yes, I contacted Eric a few months ago but he was not working on porting seqPlayer. Knowing that a port is working is great news. Is it being shared (may I get a copy somewhere)?

I'll write to him again now that I know this.

FTM (made by IRCAM) has variable Midi playback speed. It seems to work instantaneously.

Also, you're able to alter the playback speed of the standard Max Midi play object when a new note is played but it's more complex than the FTM method.

FTM is free to download - you may need a while to get used to it but it's a powerful library.

Many many links on your http://www.bek.no/~pcastine/Music/index.html 
page doesn't exist anymore...

Does anyone know if anyone is able to compile a 64 bit version of Eric Singer's seqPlayer that is compatible with Max8?
